Dr. Wang’s research focuses on new drug R&D and mechanism study for type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. Using various molecular assays, cell-based assays and type 2 diabetic animal models, he has been investigating dozens of substances, obtaining from artificial synthesis, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and marine life. Dr. Wang is also interested in the molecular mechanisms underlining type 2 diabetes, with particular, in mitochondrial plasticity and skeletal muscle glucose metabolismrelated pathway.
